Not sure that's quite right tbh. Doesn't cover people from situations where they're very unlikely to ever be able to afford the travel. But it's not only about that - if we end up charging for the wrong things in the wrong way, then I'd bet that'd damage the entire concept of IETF-meetings and cross-area review (or whichever aspect of that kind of serendipity you like most) and we'd end up more like a set of unrelated industry-projects than not. That's a bit negative and very speculative, as such things must be, but I don't think it's that wild to see some of the possible outcomes here doing damage to the idea of there even being an IETF community accessible to anyone with technical clue who wants to elbow their way in. (Ditto for scenarios that don't require elbows, which are of course nicer:-) But, the LLC folks have said they're going to think some more about this so I'm hopeful the outcome will be an improvement. (And fair play to them for being willing to think some more.) Cheers, S.
